some feedback from a recent retreat...
‘Amazing speaker. He had done so much preparation to bring everything alive. He spoke on difficult subjects which need airing, as they impact our lives and journey with God.’
‘Thoroughly enjoyed listening to Michael – who is such an engaging, delightful speaker.’
‘Michael Mitton is an excellent speaker, nice use of humour throughout.’
‘Michael is an inspiring speaker: wise, informative and amusing.’
​
Michael is a delightful and engaging speaker - he is one of those individuals who leaves an imprint on your mind and his sense of calm and kindness is something I have remembered on a number of occasions this week and tried to invoke while teaching turbulent secondary school pupils!
Michael is an excellent speaker and I really valued his creative and imaginative approach.
I found Michael’s beautiful presentations really helpful. I liked the way he made such good use of visual images, video clips, poetry and stories from the lives of the saints.
